1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Precautions, Care & Maintenance
WARNING:
Read and save
these instructions!
Safety may be jeopardized if the equipment is used in a manner not speci-
fied by the manufacturer. Carefully read and keep the following instruc-
tions for future reference.
• Although fuses at the input and outputs of the controller protect its
circuits in case of an overload or overvoltage, we recommend install-
ing an additional protection device on the controller's supply circuit.
• The room temperature where the controller is located must always
remain between 32 °F and 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C). For Indoor use
only !
• To avoid exposing the controller to harmful gases or excessive humidity,
it is preferable to install it in a corridor.
•Do not spray water on the controller! In order to clean the control,
wipe it with a damp cloth.
Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service
panel and lock the switch disconnecting means to prevent
power from being switched accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
• The controller should be opened and inspected once a year for mois-
ture. Proper care will extend the life of the control.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Mounting Instructions
Open the latch and lift the cover. Remove the black caps located on each
of the four mounting holes. Mount the enclosure on the wall using four
screws. Be sure the electrical knockouts are at the bottom of the enclo-
sure in order to prevent water from entering the controller. Insert the
screws in the mounting holes and tighten. Fasten the four black caps
provided with the controller onto the four mounting holes. The enclosure
must be mounted in a location that will allow the cover to be completely
opened right up against the wall.
3.2 Connections
To connect the controller, refer to the wiring diagram enclosed with this
user's manual. Use the electrical knockouts provided at the bottom of the
enclosure. Do not make additional holes in the enclosure, particularly on
the side of the enclosure when using a computer communications module.
Refer to the wiring diagram enclosed with this user's manual to connect
the controller. Use the electrical knockouts provided at the bottom of the
enclosure. Do not make additional holes in the enclosure, particularly on
the side of the enclosure when using a computer communication module.
All wiring must be done by an authorized electrician and must
comply with applicable codes, laws and regulations. Be sure
power is off before doing any wiring to avoid electrical shocks
and equipment damage.
Do not install rigid conduit into electrical knockouts. Only nylon
cable glands are permitted for cable or wire fastening.
The controller has no power-on switch. An external switch or
circuit breaker shall be included in the building installation to
interrupt power to L and N electric power lines. It shall be in
close proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the
operator. It shall be marked as the disconnecting device for the
equipment.
